Hi, I didn't use the kb but the power button on the monitor which gave the same result.
After resetting the PMU again I'm back at the same situation as before the repair. A bong, all fans work, the red LED on the mobo is lit and the disks spin up but only chatter for a short time, the monitor stays dark. The processor on the graphic card gets warm. After resetting the PMU the LED of the power button goes dark again after releasing the button although there is the bong etc. The next time I try to start after the reset the LED is extinguished for a short period and comes back on after the bong. I payed 110 euros with new quiet fans and shipping back to my home. The guy apparently also fixes mobos and will help me again. He told me that my PSU was indeed defective. Best regards, Jörg.
